I recently acquired this Art Deco style crystal bust. It came unattributed and only noted as being produced during the Art Deco era. It stands about 9 1/2" tall. It is unmarked, but I've since happened upon another online that still had it's Arcadia Glass sticker on it. They attributed it to Heinrich Hoffmann but I have been unable to find a source for confirmation. As iconic as some of Hoffman's work is, it seems unlikely that this piece wouldn't also be noted. Has anyone come across this before and have more information?
Thanks!
I’m just wondering about your reference to “Arcadia Glass”. Could you detail the reference, please ???
During my Internet search for more information, I came across an entry on Worthpoint that had an Arcadia sticker affixed to an identical statue.
Solved my own mystery. I kept digging and finally found a page with original catalog picture. This was designed by Andre Tills and produced by Curt Schlevogt in 1939. Named the "Sphinx" and possibly part of the "Ingrid" collection.
Well done, Mike. Schlevogt !!!!
